    Does anyone know a way to prevent Shell+ 2.1 from printing the time and
date as soon as it is forked?  I don't mean in the prompt but just before it is
ready it prints 'Shell+ v2.1 90/11/13 18:51:34'.  I would like to keep it from
printing the time and date.

    The reason is this : I am running a BBS, under RiBBS v2.0.  It allows users
access to shell commands.  It forks login fine and the user may enter their
name and password, but as soon as the shell is forked there comes up about 20
'ERROR #214' or 'ERROR #215' and then it exits.  Shell+ works fine with the
origonal ACIAPAK, but for some reason when it is called through the ACIAPAK
that is patched for RiBBS it is not happy.

    The original shell works for us, but it is not the same, as you may know. I
figure the printing of the time to be the problem because it appears to be the
only difference between the two shells on startup.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.    Thanks.
